Itea (Greek: Ιτέα, before 1955: Λιάπη, Liapi)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. The village became part of Zagori for administrative reasons.[4]
Name
The toponym is derived from either the surname Liapis, stemming from the ethnonym Liapis, or directly from the ethnonym Liapis, which originates from the Albanian word Lab, -i, meaning 'a Lab, an inhabitant of Labëria'.[5] In Northern Greek phonetics, the word became rendered as Lap (Liapi).[5] Another factor pointing toward the Albanian origin of the toponym is the formation of the demonym for village inhabitants: Lapat-s and Lapat-sa into Liapatis and Liapatissa.[6]
The villagers of Greveniti consider the inhabitants of Dresteniko (modern Tristeno), Liapi (Itea), and Demati to belong in some way to the same ethno-linguistic group.[7] Lab is rendered in Aromanian as Leap and means 'predatory Albanian'.[8]
